Back in 2009, Jérôme Sauloup introduced a cheeky little trick called "Automatic Open Prediction," and boy, did it bamboozle some serious magicians: Gaetan Bloom, Dirk Losander, you name it. Fast forward through a few tweaks and voilà – he concocted a two-deck presentation that’s even more mind-boggling, leaving the spectators to do all the heavy lifting. Shawn Farquhar and Eric Jones were lucky enough to catch this routine and were left utterly gobsmacked.
After a decade of tinkering, Choice is finally here! The concept is as straightforward as it gets. You present two decks, one red and one blue. Hand them over to two audience members, who can deal as many cards as they fancy and stop whenever the mood strikes. They then swap the cards they’ve landed on. When revealed, those two cards match! And just when they think it can’t get any better, all the other cards turn out to be completely blank. Magic, right?
This trick is a doddle to perform, and the magician never has to lift a finger! The spectators are the ones activating the gimmick. You even get a bonus effect using a borrowed deck of cards.
